'Tis the season for Haunted Knoxville Ghost Tours

Friday night marks the beginning of the season for Haunted Knoxville Ghost Tours.

The group held a meet-and-greet tonight on Market Square before their first tour of the year.

While ghost hunting may not be your typical weekend adventure, organizers say it provides a unique alternative.

"We are creating a cool thing for Knoxville. We are creating a new aspect of entertainment at night time," said J-Adam Smith. "People come down from Knoxville, what are they going to do? We are giving you another opportunity to learn about the history, enjoy the town a little bit, and it's just a lot of fun."
